Thermal Service

Deep dives on components enabling thermal and air cabin comfort as well as management of heat dissipation in other critical component areas (for example Cooled EGR). 

Thermal management is critical for maintaining cabin comfort and propulsion temperature control in all conditions. Environmental concerns, emissions compliance, and greater penetration of hybrid and electric vehicles are driving increased value-added opportunities in this sector as well as difficult material and architecture-selection decisions.
